The prolific Japanese metal band keep on giving, putting a new spin on their track "Pardon? Curvature of the Earth by Alex Green. Utah field recordist Alex Green makes a call for global unity on this uplifting, deeply textured ambient sound collage. Bedouin Trax II by Eomac. Twilight EP by Wisbands. A riveting jam session from Pittsburgh, Pa. Australian singer-songwriter and producer blends moody hip-hop beats with swooning bedroom pop melodies; eerie, yet infectious.
Our camping trip was centered around the Iron Gate and Copco dam sites. We wanted to see them before their deconstruction over the next couple of years, and get a feel for how the terrain will change once the waters are left to flow freely again. Although this book is definitely not an anthropological text, it is a wonderful glimpse into the past.
As we drove through Hoopa, Weitchpec, and up through Orleans it was neat to be essentially following the footsteps of Mary Elliott Arnold and Mabel Reed. I was able to compare their tales of trying to ford a raging Klamath with the smaller, calmer rivers we drove over on our trip.
There is a language to the text that is old and very offensive— though taken within context I can also see the adoration these women had for their neighbors on the Klamath. There are a lot of questionable reflections and interactions that beget a reading-between-the-lines style of comprehension. What I took away from this book was not the mission but relationships built through friendship, hard work and bravery.
The book begins upon their arrival and ends with their departure two years later. They became proficient horseback riders, they made friends with almost every person they met, and they learned how to handle themselves in just about any scary situation they encountered. I am also in love with how they kept a humorous tone even recounting some of their more horrifying experiences.
I definitely recommend this to anyone traveling through the Klamath area. I do not recommend this book as a way of understanding the life of the indigenous people of the Klamath. Terri Bonow. This book details anthropological insights into the Karok Indians of the North Coast of California in the year Kaufman Milton Academy and Bridgewater State University, Massachusetts In the years since I first encountered this genre-busting text in graduate school,.

But the account given in these pages is not of these occurrences but of everyday life on the frontier in an Indian village, and what Indians and badmen did and said when they were not engaged in wiping out their friends and neighbors.
It is also the account of our own two years in Indian country where, in the sixty-mile stretch between Happy Camp and Orleans, we were the only white women, and most of the time quite scared enough to satisfy anybody.
Hired to promote the federal government's assimilation of American Indians, Arnold and Reed instead found themselves adapting to the world they entered, a complex and contentious territory of Anglo miners and Karuk families. The Nebraska Sandhills is the largest area of sand dunes in the western hemisphere, covering an area about as large as Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island combined.
Unlike most dunes, the Sandhills region supports an astonishing variety of wildlife. Sixty million years ago the area lay submerged in a vast inland sea.
As the land lifted and the waters receded, the sandhills were formed, built upon a sandy floor above a sandy basement. Paul A. Johnsgard's appreciation for the region includes its evolution, a process that continues today making a very special place, patiently shaped by water, wind, and time. Sometimes feet higher than their sloping valleys, the hills themselves are almost entirely covered with plants that manage to survive on an unstable substrate and in a climate of merciless heat and cold.
They provide homes and resting places for rare species and sustain the livelihoods of a remarkable variety of people. Though firmly established in science, this book is an extended love letter to the Sandhills region and its people, plants, and animals. Johnsgard is now in his third decade of research in the Sandhills. This Fragile Land lets others see what he sees, a land with a fascinating range of geological, biological, and ecological vistas. Widely published throughout the English-speaking world, he has become a foremost authority on ornithology and bird behavior.
This Handbook serves as a starting point for critical analysis and discourse about the status of women in outdoor learning environments OLEs. Women choose to participate actively in outdoors careers, many believing the profession is a level playing field and that it offers alternatives to traditional sporting activities.
They enter outdoor learning primarily on the strength of their enthusiasm for leading and teaching in natural environments and assume the field is inclusive, rewarding excellence regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic status, disability, or ethnicity. However, both research and collective experiences in OLEs suggest that many women feel invisible, relegated, marginalized, and undervalued. In response to this marginalization, this Handbook celebrates the richness of knowledge and practices of women practitioners in OLEs.
Women scholars and practitioners from numerous fields, such as experiential outdoor education, adventure education, adventure therapy, and gender studies, explore the implications of their research and practice using poignant examples within their own disciplines. These insights emerge from similar life experiences as women and outdoor leaders in the s to the present.
Social inequalities still abound in OLEs, and the Handbook ensures that the contributions of women are highlighted as well as the work that needs to be done to make these spaces inclusive. Global in perspective and capacious in content, this one-stop volume is an indispensable reference resource for a diverse range of academics, including students and researchers in the fields of education, psychology, sociology, gender studies, geography, and environment studies, as well as the many outdoors fields.
The peoples of northwestern Califonia's Lower Klamath River area have long been known for their fine basketry. Two early-twentieth-century weavers of that region, Elizabeth Hickox and her daughter Louise, created especially distinctive baskets that are celebrated today for their elaboration of technique, form, and surface designs.
Marvin Cohodas now explores the various forces that influenced Elizabeth Hickox, analyzing her relationship with the curio trade, and specifically with dealer Grace Nicholson, to show how those associations affected the development and marketing of baskets.
